Trinidad scorpion

A pepper of superlatives

Trinidad Scorpion - Product picture

A name like Trinidad Scorpion is significant for a pepper. After the Naga Jolokia was the world's hottest pepper for a while, the 'scorpion' temporarily took over. The Trinidad Scorpion has now been relieved of its position by the Carolina Reaper. However, it is still a pepper of superlatives. The Scoville scale that indicates chilli heat measured 1.2 million units. Nature's Pride's own hot scale awards the highest grade: a 10.

The relatively innocent looks of this small chilli make it all the more striking. It looks like a small lantern, red and shiny with a small pointy tip.

Recipes & preparation tips

If there is one pepper – apart from the Carolina Reaper – that requires careful handling, it's the Trinidad Scorpion. Start by rubbing your hands with oil and wash them thoroughly with soap afterwards. This prevents the heat from being absorbed into the skin. Dosing also requires expert knowledge in order not to make a chili sauce or a curry excessively hot, for example. Asian recipes in particular are 'bulk consumers' of this spicy chilli pepper variety.
